Lennar Reviews

Builder planted a dead palm that never grew one new leaf in 4 months and refuses to replace it. Horrible business on behalf of the warranty department. I understand that trees and plants are not USUALLY covered under warranty but when builder puts in a tree that NEVER TOOK, they should replace it.

Customer service is absolutely hands down the worst in the business!!

Couldn’t be happier with our neighbors but be very careful and cautious when dealing with Lennar. Have your “I’d” dotted and “t’s” crosses with EVERYTHING!! Make sure to get it in writing because they will change their stories in everything that they verbalize to you

Knowing and seeing the problems and the quality of this house right now, I will not buy another Lennar home. Appears that house was built rushed and built poorly. Did not meet the standard I was expecting for a brand new home.

This review is not in regards to the location, the neighborhood, the local schools, etc... It is strictly about Lennar. I purchased a home from Lennar at the end of May 2019. My experience with Lennar before and after purchasing the home has been terrible. This company lacks communication, consistency, and quality, among other things. When we agreed to purchase the home that we liked, the closing date was originally set for early June 19. Lennar contacted us and said that the closing date could be moved up to mid-May. We agreed to that closing date. When that date finally came around, I took off of work to allow time for the walk-through and all of the paperwork that comes along with closing. It was getting late on the day of closing and Lennar had still not contacted me to come do the walk-through. They finally contacted me and said that there wasn't time to close and we would have to do it at a later day. I went up to look at the house the next day and saw that the house was nowhere near ready and that they made no attempt to even close on the day that they moved it up to. I was extremely frustrated that I sacrificed an entire workday for nothing. Eddie, the area manager, and Drew, the sales rep, made no attempt to apologize or compensate me for this. Several days later, I walked through the house with Mario, the construction manager at the time, and put up blue tape on areas that needed a paint touch-up. After a while he has another appointment and said that Drew, the sales rep, was on his way to assist me in continuing the process. When the sales rep showed up, he aggressively told me to leave the home and that if I didn't like the way it looked, the house wasn't mine to buy. At the same time, I noticed that there was a bird's nest in the attic which was the result of a gap in the roof I had brought to their attention in the past, but they told me it was nothing. My wife and I moved into the home on June 2nd, and there are issues that we identified before ever purchasing the home that we are still dealing with today. The most recent is chips in the floor, which has now turned into a 5-week process just to replace a couple of panels on the floor. Lennar left the laundry room vent blocked which caused a blockage between my dryer machine and the vent exit on the ceiling of the house. This is a major fire hazard. The fence gate has broke 3 times. Paint on the outside of the house began to peel off. There was a missing baseboard. There was paint in the carpet and on the flooring throughout the house, and when I brought this up they told me to just to get a washcloth and clean it up myself. There are paint chips and inconsistencies in the paint in every single room of the house, they told me to use the provided touch up paint to fix it myself. I appreciate that the house came with sod and an irrigation system, but the way they laid the sod was extremely careless. Since we first met with Lennar, we have gone through 3 construction managers. As you can imagine, this has caused inconsistency and confusion in communication. I would never recommend Lennar to any of my friends or family. I strongly discourage anyone that reads this to buy a Lennar home. ... More

NO CONTACT WITH ME IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS SINCE MY COMPLAINTS.....

First off and let me say that is review is just a summary of the problems. Lennar forgot to finished installing the proper parts for the heater so when my family and I decided to run the heat, it didn’t work The AC had to be fixed 3 times since moving in and I’ve only been in the house for 6 months. Tile crack The glaze on the tile in the shower is pealing. Their contractors that do work on the homes never show up on time or they decide to show up when ever they want. Carpet is already buckling Overall it’s been a bad experience in regards to workmanship. The only positive is Tom. He’s been good at getting our work orders out to the contractors.. ... More

When we first bought our home in May of 2019, we were told we did not need flood insurance because the area wasn’t a flood zone area, fast forward to Sep 2019 with tropical storm imelda, we were under water! So many of our neighbors lost their homes, we had to be rescued because water was rising, my brand new 2019 vehicle got flooded 2 weeks after buying it, just such an emotional event to go through, and the saddest part is all my neighbors were told the same thing about flood insurance. The materials of the house weren’t all that, our plants died a week after we moved in, our grass too, the foundation of the backyard is all messed up and bumpy, I feel like we didn’t get our money’s worth. ...

To no fault of our own we have a lien on our new home. We're not sure what's happening and have had a couple of different stories. We've been in the home 5 months and this issue is still not resolved.

We have now been in our new home for 4 months. The home buying process with the sales staff was a nightmare. We have had similar experience with the home warranty staff. Claims have been submitted but many have not been fulfilled. We love the home, we love the area, but we wish more care would have been put into our home and the building process.

I’m still waiting for repairs to be completed from my closing over four months ago. In addition I’m in the middle of fighting tooth and nail to get someone out to repair a roof leak that has caused extensive water damage and now black mold which has rendered three rooms in my house unable to be used. My kids are crammed into other rooms now. I’ve documented everything and even called management multiple times with now follow up. The entire process has been horrendous as a first time home buyer.

The workmanship was poor at best, the sales staff and closing were a disaster, the follow up with repairs has been, let's just say a nightmare. Some things still are not fixed and if I had to guess are not going to get fixed unless I pay for someone to fix them. Everything included does not mean everything... but they fail to tell you what normal things are not included. I am afraid to see what is going t happen to this house in say 5 years, I think most mobile homes are constructed better.

1) Lawn was horrible at the time of closing. After 1 that I was told that it was layed months back without any property maintainanice. Due to this I have pay the expenses to replace it. 2) Restroom and others have issues 3) newly installed fridge needs repair Overall not happy of getting a brand new house and get these issues frequently

Disappointed. We have had Major issues and construction fixes. And appointments missed

Too many imperfections caused by fast and sloppy workmanship. The entire process is rushed from start to finish. Everywhere I look I find issues with finishing touches. We just moved in and we're already thinking about selling.

After moving in(Rise at Legacy hills,Celina), I quickly noticed several issues caused by poor-quality materials and workmanship. Lennar even planted a dead plant, which they refused to cover under warranty. I reported it within a week, but they still placed the responsibility on me as the homeowner. In the bathroom, the caulking was not done properly, leading to water leakage from the faucet within the first week, yet they insisted this was a homeowner maintenance issue. The blinds that were offered as an incentive turned out to be extremely cheap and do not function properly. The lock has broken multiple times, and although they repaired it, the chrome finish continues to peel off. The landscaping was also poorly done, resulting in water clogging on the right side of the house. Their explanation was that the issue is caused by my neighbor overwatering, which I find unreasonable. It has only been a couple of months since I moved in, and I’ve already encountered these problems. Based on this experience, I can only expect things to get worse over time. ... More

Several pending issue dragged on to fix. A few of the issues were made seem like it was supposed to be like that. Example carpet loose next to point where carpet ends and tiles lead to bathroom. Potential issue for someone falling by tripping on loose carpet. Laundry room doors made too small for standard appliances can’t close door

In short, the home buying experience was not pleasant, and in many ways, did not satisfy our needs. The process was made even more frustrating by the continued demonstration that Lennar and its process were more important than any of the customer’s interests or needs. Here is a direct quote from the “Delivery Process” letter sent to us – “Appointments are critical, and timing is of the essence. Walk-through appointments cannot be changed; however, we do offer a choice of virtual or in person appointments based on your availability” I can understand the need to maintain scheduled appointments; but we had no input concerning timing, the sales staff knew we were traveling from the East Coast during that time, and when we were forced to do the walk-through virtually the person doing the walk through didn’t know that is how we were doing it and was not prepared. Additionally, when we contacted the office that sent the letter, they contended that they had nothing to do with the walk-through. Although the individuals were pleasant enough, they were completely restrained by the Lennar system. There are so many ‘features’ in the house that are not logical for the home user but were things that could not be changed. Lennar promotes the houses as having features that are befitting a 55 and over community, but these features (gimmicks) are insignificant when compared to the inconvenience that they cause. And, they were non-negotiable. Just to list a few: -- No door on the bathroom (The one place you are guaranteed to stand naked. And, what if one person is up earlier or later than the other?) -- Many doors that are 36 inches for no practical reason (The large doors get in the way!) -- Zero threshold shower (You can’t put a bath mat down so you have to step from the shower onto the slippery tile floor.) -- Hand-held shower wand in the master shower -- Grass in the back yard (The one place that the HOA does not provide maintenance.) Finally, I know that these houses are not custom homes, but the house construction quality and finish is pretty poor. Simple things like stud placement – they are not consistent! Planning for kitchen cabinets – there should have been blocking for the cabinet installation. Several cabinets do not have the proper number of screws holding them in place. A single towel hook in each bathroom?? So, to answer the original question; I would not rate my experience as being positive. I’m not sure I could recommend Lennar to anyone. What makes this sad is that the house we moved from in Maryland was built by Lennar and we were very satisfied with the quality and the buying experience.. ... More

Unpleasant experience overall. Felt very rushed and like all Lennar staff was too busy to take a second and explain the home buying process to me. Lots of unanswered questions and just neglect as a customer in general. Maintenance warranty requests take a while. Ronaldo is someone who stands out as he was extremely condescending and unhelpful.

We were so excited to buy our first home. The price was right! The sales agent was very attentive. We were pre-approved and ready to get the process started. We paid our escrow and were committed. That’s where things started to go downhill. Because once they have that commitment they can do whatever they want and throw customer service to the wind. Our pre-approval turned into “you don’t meet all the requirements and will need a co-signer”. At that point we were invested and went through with it assured they would be left off the title and it wouldn’t affect them. After closing we find out from LENNAR Title that it was required for them to be on the title forcing us to forfeit our full homestead exemption. Then after some time living in the home we noticed one of our bedrooms was much warmer than the others so we contacted them and they sent out the company who installed the system. Long story short the Tech left while I stepped out and assured him someone would be there in 10-15 mins insisting there was no issue and everything met the required settings. No one listened. I was told I could escalate the issue and when I did received an email saying my request was denied. But the issue is still unresolved and they are not interested in doing anything about it. One thing after another every experience has been so frustrating. I’ve dealt with LENNAR title multiple times and each time I was told they’d follow up, after my homeowners insurance being unpaid for the first month of ownership and lost checks they refused to waive the fee for reissuing, no one ever called me back. I had to constantly reach out to get answers. I will never buy a home with LENNAR again or recommend them to anyone. Every interaction has been frustrating and my issues were never resolved. I’m extremely disappointed. ... More

Hi, I am having an electric vehicle. I thought there would be EV charging stations at this community Collection at Hopewell. I bought a condo. The charging stations are not installed yet. I have no way to charge my car. When I tried to reach the sales agent and construction manager, they didn’t provide me a resolving answer. Now they hide from me not responding to my emails etc. Thank You Hari

No organization No responsibility No costumer services No accountability No reliable communication Worst company and some employees as well.

Construction, walk through, finance… terrible experience. The amount of times I have had to reach out to the warranty dept is embarrassing. Although this warranty team is great- why are they repairing things on a new home? Finance team, construction team manager…. Need to do better.

Quality is pretty poor and we were lied to about a lot of pricing

By far the most frustrating experience of a lifetime. All my financial records I submitted somehow disappeared. Buying process was confusing. No loyalty to those that were on the magical list. Withholding of vital information about the lot. Poor workmanship on concrete, paint, and framing. Would NEVER recommend to anyone.
